ComingSoon.net reports that Warner Bros. Pictures will release writer-director Kevin Munroe's CG animated TMNT a week earlier than was expected. The turtles will now hit theaters on March 23, where it currently faces "Bean II," "Mr. Brooks" and "Pride."

*Masked Ninja* · 09-27-2006, 06:00 PM

Good, I was a little worried - they would have been up against Meet the Robinsons otherwise, which I've heard some buzz about online (particularly amongst animation geeks).

And the obvious benefit is that's one less week I have to wait.

*iris* · 09-27-2006, 06:19 PM

I don't agree with Masked Ninja.

*Raph's Girl* · 09-27-2006, 07:37 PM

March 23rd now??

Ah well.. a week less than previously reported...

And now the movie is up against some lame movie starring Tom Arnold (Pride), Bean II (which nobody wants to see anyways), and a Kevin Costner crime drama (Mr. Brooks)....

So basically TMNT now has no competition cuz it's being released with 3 movies that star people that everyone hates.... great job Warner Bros.

You did not just diss Rowan Atkinson.

Anyway, good news.

Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle · 09-29-2006, 09:16 AM

Yeah, Bean II will be awesome. That weekend I'm seeing two movies. TMNT and Bean II.

Draconic · 09-29-2006, 10:34 AM

That weekend, I'm seeing 2 movies too. TMNT, and TMNT. You know, I like variety.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 09-29-2006, 09:07 PM

That weekend I will try my best to see TMNT. If not that weekend, then for sure the weekend after that.

Vincent · 10-01-2006, 08:19 PM

That weekend I have no idea what I'm gonna be doing, as I live in Sweden, and will probably have to wait longer to see the movie (especially since I want to see it with original dialog, which might not even be possible in theatres around here if they don't show two versions).
So what I need is...
A) The luck that they'll show the English-speaking version in theatres around here, preferrably in March.
B) Money for a vacation.
C) To break the law and then buy the DVD when it comes out.

*jeff the cheff* · 10-02-2006, 06:50 AM

this is awesome my gf really didnt want me to see this movie instead of partying on her bday, now I can do both!

Spawn Guy · 10-02-2006, 09:01 AM

God loves a thoughtful TMNT fan.

*cowabunga14* · 10-02-2006, 08:37 PM

I have no idea if I'll be seeing this on opening day or not. I figure I'll be lucky enough if I just get to see it on opening weekend.

It's most likely gonna be freakin' crowded because that's a usual thing for movies on their opening days and weekends.

TheShowstoppa · 10-02-2006, 09:46 PM

You guys aren't getting the point. Yeah, they're moving the date up, but that's nothing compared to what may be coming out 2 weeks before and the week before it hits theaters. Think about it... March 9th, you have 300, Hot Fuzz, The Namesake, Reign Over Me, Severance and Virgin Territory. The next week, you have Blind Dating, Firehouse Dog, Lucky You, Premonition, Stardust, and Sunshine.

I know they don't seem like threats, but any one of those 12 movies could be major sleeper hits. Yeah, TMNT doesn't have that much competition, but the week after, Meet the Robinsons is thretening. This is why TMNT is getting released then instead of a summer point. It would get CRUSHED under the summer competition. HP5, Transformers, and Spider-man 3 all have $100 Million written in their stars in their first weeks.

Meet the Robinsons is thretening.

I don't know.. I've heard alot of good things about 300... I actually wanna see it...mostly cuz Im into historical stuff.

Plot of 300:
"In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them."

"Reign Over Me" stars Adam Sandler in a post-911 movie about a man who lost his family on 911 and then finds love in an old flame....

Severence apperantly is already out...

Hot Fuzz is a British cop comedy.... yea.. uh...that'll go well in the U.S....

Virgin Territory: A comedy set in Italy during the Bubonic Plague...that's apperantly based on some book I've never heard of that was written in the 14th century...stars Hayden "Anakin Skywalker" Christensen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decameron

Blind Dating aka Blind Guy Driving: A blind young man (Pine) thinks he finds love with an Indian woman (Jay), though their relationship is fraught with cultural differences.

Shoot Out Of Luck (March 10th): A musical about Gangsters fighting Cowboys...Reportadly stars Willie Nelson.... must... see...

TV Virus: A crazy man from the mountains now roams the streets of Hollywood proselytizing that TV signals are embedded with a dangerous virus. Two high school girls shoot a documentary about him, but the more they investigate, the more one of them begins to believe it.

Shadows of Atticus: A girl loses her mother in a car accident...her family is fraked now...but hey...a dog named Atticus saves everyone.... everyone loves a movie about a dog right? um...yea

Twisted Fortune: A down-and-out thief finds he's got a bottle cap worth a million bucks. Unfortunately, he discovers this while robbing a convenience store. (Twisted fortune so named cuz uh you twist the bottle caps and look under em...yea... lame)

Stardust: Possably the biggest competition.... In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm. Magic, mystery, fantasy, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter O'Toole!

Premonition: A housewife is shocked when her husband dies in a car crash and reappears the next day. She realizes it was a premonition and tries to avoid the tragedy.
Stars Sandra "My husband is not THAT Jesse James!" Bullock

Sunshine: 50 years into the future, the Sun begins to die, and Earth is dying as a result. A team of astronauts are sent to revive the Sun - but the mission fails. Seven years later, a new team are sent to finish the mission as they are Earth's last hope.

well the sooner the better!

*Buslady* · 10-03-2006, 08:25 AM

I hope it does well in the first week, but i fear it will drop off fast with all those other movies.
I think TMNT1 released in March 1990 also...

Draconic · 10-03-2006, 08:39 AM

Well, now we know they're not behind in production or anything, and hey, one less week of waiting. It's all good.

OA · 10-05-2006, 07:33 PM

Yea, Im pretty happy with the release date...and you're definately right- TMNT would get shredded in the Summer (no pun intended

)...

I hope they do a killing at the box office. We all need to do our part!! I know I'll be there opening weekend- watch it once, maybe twice...
